the u.s. feels in terms of the military action, no question the u.s. is in the lead here in these initial stages and as the president explained a few minutes ago, that was by design, the feeling is that the u.s. is uniquely able to set the stage for a no-fly zone, that it has the capabilities in the form of cruise missiles off some of the ships in the mediterranean in terms of surveillance, jamming technology, refueling ability. so the idea is for the u.s. to take the lead initially, set conditions to enforce a no-fly zone, and administration aides repeatedly insist to us, it will be a matter of days, not weeks, before the date-to-day operations will be handed over to the coalition for the enforcement of this no-fly zone. >> savannah guthrie, traveling with the president in chile, thank you very much for joining us. >>> we're following the latest developments concerning the disaster in japan. the death toll from the march 11th quake and tsunami is still climbing. with 21,000 people dead or missing. another 350,000 survivors are now in emergency shelter

big picture here in the u.s. could the u.s. survive and provide enough energy without nuclear power down the road? >> well, i think there's two things there. first, nuclear power in germany has been a political issue for 20 years, so it's not entirely surprising that they would make a quick reaction like this and do that. i don't think it's prudent for germany to do that, but that's what they're doing. here in the united states, 20% of our power comes from nuclear arbon free and is an important source of reliable power for our country. we need to make a look at how that power is being produced, validate that the requirements are appropriate, but i think the nuclear regulatory commission is going to take a very measured approach, which is appropriate. when i was a commissioner during 9/11, that's what we did relative to the plants at that point and i think that's the same philosophy we should be using relative to the events coming out of japan. >> okay, jeff merrifield we'll speak with you next hour with a few more questions. th
